Schematic representation of the acrosome reaction of human spermatozoa. (A) The acrosome reaction of capacitated spermatozoa occurs after binding to the zona pellucida. (B) Upon this event, the outer acrosomal membrane fuses with the plasma membrane, releasing the acrosome contents. (C) MCP is expressed on the IAM and thus is exposed following the acrosome reaction.
